Comment by Dr. Sharkey…
"Toxoneuron Cardiochilinae I think."

See reference here.

 
Thanks!
I think you nailed it! Thank you so much!

Moved from ID Request.

likely Braconidae

misidentification
It's a sawfly rather than a braconid. Perhaps the red-headed ash sawfly.

 
I don't see "red-headed ash sawfly" as an option
What genus-species do you have in mind?

I certainly welcome any and all timely corrections of my explicitly uncertain "likely" ID suggestions

It had reminded me of this sort of creature, but these Hymenoptera sure are prone to color convergence and I don't claim to know them all as well as I would like:


Note in particular the orange costal margin and stigma which led me to think Braconidae

 
Thanks!
Thank you all for the assistance! Im sorry I dont have more pictures to help assist an ID

 
Yes - Agathidinae…
Will ask Dr. Sharkey if he can discern a genus and/or species from this single image.

See reference here.

 
Thank you!
Thank you! Im sorry it is just one image, Im very grateful for the help!

Perhaps somewhere in ...
...http://bugguide.net/node/view/596205

More pictures of the animal would be helpful.

I believe John Ascher has the answer (above).

 
Im sorry this is unfortunatel
Im sorry this is unfortunately the only picture I have, I very much appreciate all of these suggestions though!
